From: Photo Coverage: Inside a Farewell Reception for Geoff Nelson and Ann Hall

A farewell reception was held at the Short North Stage for Geoff Nelson and wife Ann Hall, following Sunday's matinee performance of Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. Geoff and Jon Putnam are cast members of the show, which continues through June 19. More than 60 old and new friends of Geoff and Ann's were there, many from the early days of CATCO, and from Geoff's newly-formed group, A Portable Theatre. Dana Miller, owner of Dana Lee's, provided wonderful hors d'oeuvres; Rick Hole prepared a slide show with lots of photographic memories from Geoff's many directorial and acting productions, and a HUGE cake topped off the fun event.
